New book: Water and Cereals in Drylands

Review / inspection copies are now available for 'Water and Cereals in Drylands' by P. Koohafkan and B.A. Stewart.

The book reviews the potential for increased cereal production in drylands across the world, from the USA, Australia and Southern Europe to Asia and Africa. It describes how improved water conservation, water harvesting and investment options can contribute to this, and suggests policies for the more efficient use of existing natural resources in order to lessen the dependence of agriculture on further irrigation development.
